Thats correctLooks like, OLED tv's doesn't have burn in.
Problem is that red subpixels have short lifespan
I have the LG 65 E6 OLED and also the LG 65 B7 OLED.
Both have screen burn.
I first noticed the screen burn on the E6 a few months ago.
It is only visible with certain colours. There is a horizontal thin line covering about 70% of the screen width and also a box with top menu in text that is visible.
It appears to me that the screen is unable to produce shades of red and flesh tones in the affected areas but it can prod uniform greens and whites and other colours. The fault affected areas seem to be outputting no illumination and appear to be a dark grey.
Currently watching snooker the screen is perfect. Watching TV programmes and movies it is occasionally obvious depending on the screen content.
I am disappointed to have recently discovered this with the E6 but would not wish to replace it as I have a collection of 3D movies.
With mixed screen images the fault is not very noticeable but it is more obvious on more uniform colour areas.
The burn appeared almost over night and I have no obvious explanation.
I suspected the horizontal line may coincide with the news channels but I am at a loss to see where the box with text for "top menu " has came from.
I have the 65 LG B7 OLED in the Kitchen and just noticed faint signs of image retention during the BBC series The Planets.
The B7 was from Richer sounds and it is part of the power board recall.
Does anyone know if they would consider a warranty claim for screen burn if it becomes more of an issue.
I really enjoy my OLED viewing but will most likely look at alternatives for my next purchases.
regards Stasis.
I had the Netlfix logo (burnt out red pixels) on my E6 55" at the end of last year. Bought from Richer Sounds beginning of 2017. RS weren't overly helpful to begin but after pushing back and direct messaging RS on here they offered the panel replacement scheme for free (not 3D) or the option to trade in and upgrade which is the option I took.
Looks like you've even got the volume bar on the right. Even if the retailer/manufacturer argues you've had too much static content, they can't say that the volume bar is abuse of any kind.
Hoping for some up to date advice. LG B7 bought from Currys in Aug 2017 - bad image retention, smearing and colour block/patchiness after regular viewing of Sky (in fairness been like this for nearly 12 months but haven't had the gumption for the inevitable battle to get it sorted). Any remedy likely to be available and, if so, do I badger Currys or LG? Any and all help appreciated.
Interesting. Would you drop me a line with details of who you emailed etc?I'm in almost exactly same position except mine is a 65 B6 bought from Curry's in April 2017 - mine caused by combination of Sky and xbox gaming.
I contacted LG today and have emailed them some photos - they've said their tech dept will review them and contact me in next 14 days - anyone know what (if anything?!) offer I could hope for/should expect from them?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone have an idea what’s going on with my brand new LG GX55 OLED? The grey areas build up over 15-30 seconds and then goes away when the text scrolls on the screen. Is this the panel trying to protect itself somehow?View attachment 1442391
I would just go with LED pal and not have to worry about what your viewing on it.Not sure if this is the correct place to post this as I'm looking for advice on whether I'd likely suffer with burn in on a modern OLED...
My usage would be 4-6hrs continuous gaming, per day, through the week. I generally play the same game until I complete them.
Days off could go as high as 8hrs. Would take a break in-between to allow the pixel refresh but would likely go back to playing the same game again afterwards.
Weekends is mostly sport so
Football - 3/5hrs pw
F1 - 3hrs whenever its on
Boxing - 4/8hrs pw.
Then Netflix/Prime video the rest of the time.
High risk games such as FIFA & F1 I'd be willing to play on an old TV to minimise the risk but wouldn't wanna be having to use an old TV too often with many other games tbh when I have an OLED sitting there lol.
Am I likely to suffer burn in within 5 years with this usage?
For me its either an OLED or budget LCD I buy now as I've previously had thrips get inside of the screen and die on my LCDs and I'm reluctant to spend a grand on a TV that will probably be ruined within 6 months by thrips.
I've had two of them and returned both for DSE. Think I've spoken with you on the XH95 owners thread actually.I would just with LED pal and not have to worry about what your viewing on it.
Sony xh95 is great for HDR gaming if not bothered about hdmi 2.1 . If your pc gaming forget hdmi 2.1. As my serie x runs much better at 4k 60
I had an 85" and it had no dse at all, the most perfect panel I've seenI've had two of them and returned both for DSE. Think I've spoken with you on the XH95 owners thread actually.
I would be willing to go for another XH95 as I know so many of you are happy with it, but the worry of thrips has put me off. Didnt realise just how bright the XH95 would get until I had one and thrips love bright lights unfortunately.
As you are aware of permanent image retention on oled and its causes you could check your screen on say a monthly basis with full screen colour test patterns to look for pir in its early stages.I've had two of them and returned both for DSE.

Just sounds like a lot of hard work and worry dont it. Id definitely get the burn in protection from D&G if I went OLED but even that isn't guaranteed cover with their neglect clause.As you are aware of permanent image retention on oled and its causes you could check your screen on say a monthly basis with full screen colour test patterns to look for pir in its early stages.
It does not happen over night and can be stopped if found early enough, the content causing the image retention I say image retention because that's all it is in its early stages, prolonged use of the this affending content would in time cause permanent image retention.

Sample size of one here so obviously anecdotal, but at least 95% of my viewing is YouTube and I spend a lot of time in the menu looking for stuff to watch. No image retention that I’ve been able to discern.
